Father: I want you to marry a girl of my choice
Son: 'I will choose my own bride!'
Father: 'But the girl is Bill Gates's daughter.'
Son: 'Well, in that case...ok'

Next Day Father approaches Bill Gates.
Father: 'I have a husband for your daughter.'
Bill Gates: 'But my daughter is too young to marry!'
Father: 'But this young man is a vice-president of the World Bank.'
Bill Gates: 'Ah, in that case...ok'

Finally Father goes to see the president of the World Bank.
Father: 'I have a young man to be recommended as a vice-president. '
President: 'But I already have more vice- presidents than I need!'
Father: 'But this young man is Bill Gates's son-in-law.'
President: 'Ah, in that case...ok'

This is how business is done!!

You got me wrong people ...
Let me explain with a story

There was this guy during the 1930 s[approx] who worked in a Shipyard which manufactured ships .....
He was a blue collar worker ...... Due to the coming of great depression he lost his job ..... So he did not know what he would do to feed himself ... he decided to use his only other talent ... he was very good at convincing people ....and also his skill and experience
-->So he managed to convince a big oil company that he would build them a transport ship which would be used to transport oil cheaply ..
-->He got a written contract from this company [which had a very good reputation]
--> Using this contract/bond ... he got a huge loan from a bank ..... He hired workers and bought an old ship and converted it into an oil tanker[ship] .....His design was so good that to this day oil tankers are basically designed after his prototype
-->Anyways he was one of the few billionaires living during the great depression era
-->he continued converting and building oil tankers and became rich

As u can see in this story [ real life story] .. the guy never used a single penny of his own ....

Thats what i meant by other people's money .... There s nothing illegal about it ..... That money is not illegal and is what we now call "principal" or "stock"
